I don't know who they got to pay for it, but an acquaintance installed 4 0r 5 stations
over a 200 acre neglected farm. In the past cows went in the creek, but there haven't been
any there in 20 years.
I'm sure we (taxpayers) paid.
They installed a big spring fed cement cistern, pumps,the watering system and buried thousands and thousands of feet of pipe.
On leased land,
To pasture a couple dozen beef!
